Output in context · Changchun Yatai finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 4.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
